Hi Mark
Was your boat flooded while sitting on the hard ?
If it was, something one of the PO did, I'm the fifth owner, was to
install a "garboard" plug on the port side.
It's located at the bottom of the bilge just behind the centerboard
pivot in that deep well thats located in that area.
My baby has been on the hard about ten years and has never filled with
water but that hole has let a few mice in, but she is looking at a
serious refurbishment, about all the mice did was to leave a lot of
droppings and pull the stuffing out of the heat shield around the
exhaust.
you have a lot of work ahead of you, but it will be worth it.
If you haven't done so yet buy a Fein multimaster, it will save you
hours of work and ask any questions you have you will get plenty of
advice.
